from unicodedata import east_asian_width
assert east_asian_width('A') == 'Na'
assert east_asian_width('中') == 'W'
The argument must be a string containing exactly one Unicode character.
A longer string, including a multi-character grapheme, raises TypeError.
A width classification is not a complete terminal-layout algorithm:
combining characters, emoji sequences, and ambiguous-width characters need
additional handling. This module does not implement Unicode normalization,
names, or the rest of CPython's unicodedata API.
